Shifting focus from ListView in android - android

I have a Button and a List View in my layout. List items have got a selector. When the application starts the button is focussed and the selector is on the first item. What I want is when the button is focussed the selector should not be on any item. When I focus on the List view items,then only the selector should come on the selected item. Any help????

add this to the outermost layout of the xml which represents your list view row item.
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
am i clear enough?

Android Expanding a single ListView Item

i have a list view with 3 buttons it. the functionality of those button would be that when clicked that single view should expand in height to show a text box. i havent done any code in the CustomAdapter of that listview to provide any reference to it.
What you just described is an ExpandableListView.
EDIT: Also, you can have the TextView's visibility set to "gone" and just become visible when the button is clicked.

Android: Placing selector over View

OK so I have a GridView of selectable items. Now, I am fully aware of how to create custom selectors for items. The problem is that whenever an item in the GridView is pressed, the selector is completely blocked by the grid item.
Is there any way to make it so that the selector appears over my grid item view? An example of this can be seen in the ''Play Music'' app. When you select an album in the grid a semi-transparent orange overlay appears on the item to indicate that it is being pressed.
Any ideas on how I would approach this?
OK so the solution to this is stupidly simple. You just use the attribute android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" in the XML element corresponding to your AdapterView.

Android listview with buttons

I have a listview with custom listitem. I have bunch of textviews in Relative layout. And when I click on listitem it goes to different screen. Now I have added 3 buttons and toggle button to list item and I CAN NOT CLICK THE LIST ITEM. What am I missing :(
set focusable property of all the buttons to false and so that you can click on list and also touch event for all buttons will work
When the user clicks the row, the ListView will look for a widget implementing the Checkable interface. The RelativeLayout does not. An easy way to do that is simply to create your own CheckableRelativeLayout class. See http://www.marvinlabs.com/2010/10/custom-listview-ability-check-items/ for a full tutorial with code.
Also, the buttons and other items in your row layout should not be focusable. You can see other SO questions: Android Row becomes Unclickable with Button
